Food for thought, food for healing

8-20-10 hungry brain
Several of us Allison Avenue girlfriends were excited to get a new neighbor last year, or has it been two years now? Our new gal on the street is Debbie, and she has been the perfect addition: fun to hang with, great hostess and cook, interesting life…. Deb is like my alter-ego since she works in the food industry and has a job I might have had if I had gotten into that field after receiving my Masters Degree in food science and nutrition.

Through Debbie, I have met other “food/nutrition” people, many who got their degrees at Iowa State University. Her friend Jeanne, being laid off from a great job as a food editor for Better Homes and Garden magazines, has written a “healing” cook book which sounds like a fun read. Jeanne’s daughter also took part in the book. The book, "Heartbreak Recovery Kitchen” is a bit tongue in cheek, and along with recipes, it provides ideas on how to relax and laugh.

  6. Well of course rhubarb and strawberry always a good combination. Mango and Peach would be good maybe. I do like cherry pie also! Loved to see you Jeanne!
